History

Borsos Tamás (1566-1634) was the town judge of Marosvásárhely from 1599 to 1604, and in this capacity he initiated the construction of the castle in 1602. The bronze bust commemorates the builder of the castle in front of the western wall of the castle. The Latin inscription on the stone arch reads: In memoriam aedificatoris arcis (In memory of the builder of the fortress). It was made by Kiss Levente and unveiled in June 2000.
